As a guest it is difficult to leave the Cottage. You want to stay longer. While there you become part of it and immerse yourself in the beauty, tranquility, and design throughout, including the handblown sconces, cornice details, wood corbels, and of course the sound of the rushing falls. Your mind and soul become one; you are transported into a magical state of being, not wanting to return to reality. Robin made all this happen with her vision. Her attention to detail, willingness to share and go beyond expectations made it possible to experience the Cottage in a beautiful, personal way. Thank you for your hospitality, responsiveness to all questions (no matter how mundane) and your generosity. Robin is an amazing host who has left nothing to want in her well stocked incredible home. Thank you for giving us memories to last us for the rest of our lives.

One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at….the pictures don’t do it justice! Waking up every morning and sitting outside with a cup of coffee in front of your own waterfall was absolutely incredible. The hosts were very nice and accommodating as well. 5 stars.

The photos online doesn't do the cabin justice. The interior was large, updated and clean. By far the best VRBO property that we have ever rented. We are looking forward to another visit next year.

This is like staying at your best friend's house where they have tried to anticipate your every need. The creekside, wooded location can't be beat and is only 20 minutes from Colgate University. Wish it had another private bedroom but we were quite comfortable.

We rented both properties for my daughter’s wedding party as well as for having an informal wedding rehearsal and dinner. Everyone loved the homes and there was plenty of space for all. Beautiful home 2 minutes from the wedding venue.

Beautiful property, loved the waterfall in the back! The house was very sound proof and you can barely hear it until you open the doors. The only quibble is the bed upstairs needs a new mattress.

We appreciate the opportunity to check in a little early. We arrived sooner than expected. It was an easy drive to local grocery store which minimized the amount of advance meal planning. Two suggestions I would offer include, directions on how to use Roku and that TV uses HDMI 4 for DVD. The second, that mattress on the bed in the loft. I don't think the sleep number settings fully work as the R side of the bed, as you are facing the bed, is permanently sunk. These two things are minor though. We were in deep need of a place to relax and recharge and it is by far our best and now favorite get sway.

We had such a fabulous, restful and peaceful time at Firefly Falls Cottage. I don't think we slept better in years. Everything was so convenient to travel to, yet off the beaten path. It was our first stay here and hopefully not our last. Falling asleep to the falls was so soothing and everything you could ask for was provide. Robin the host was incredibly responsive to each question. Do yourself a favor and stay at this amazing retreat. You will not regret it.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage nestled beside a stunning waterfall. The natural scenery was breathtaking, offering a serene backdrop that made our trip truly special. The cottage itself was beautifully crafted, with impressive woodwork that added warmth and character. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of stocked water and adult beverages available on the honor system (take one, leave one), which made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this unique retreat for anyone seeking nature and comfort!

A great Major League Hall of Fame place to stay!

My son and I are from Seattle, we meet up with my brothers from Florida and Ohio for the MLB Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Cooperstown. What a wonderful weekend it was and at a beautiful house that overlooked a creek with two waterfalls. The outside views from the deck were only surpassed by the wide-open spaces inside the house. The great room was the perfect setting for reminiscing with the family. The sleeping accommodations was ideal for everyone. Although the drive to Cooperstown was a bit far, the grandeur of this house made the whole weekend worthwhile! We loved this place. Thank you Robin!
